| Abstract: | "In order to understand the effect of the non-coal heating and the traditional coal-fired heating on the indoor environment of the rural houses, the humidity environment and indoor air quality in several households were investigated during the heating period in Beichen District and Wuqing District of Tianjin, China. The results showed that the indoor average temperature for the heating by the electricity and the natural gas was higher than that by the traditional coal fire. The indoor relative humidity for the heating by the electricity and the natural gas was lower than that by the traditional coal fire. The indoor air quality (IAQ) for the heating by the electricity and the natural gas was better than that by the traditional coal fire. For traditional coal-fire heating households, the indoor pollutant emission (CO emission) by using the clean coal was lower than that by using the raw coal. The indoor ventilation rate which was an important parameter for the indoor air quality was generally poor in winter. The total volatile organic compounds (TVOC) emission in the indoors of the coal-fired heating households was generally higher than that of the non-coaled heating households" |
